Across 110th Street Complete Lobby Card set
Beverly Hills CA: United Artists 1972. Complete set of 8 lobby cards for the 1972 crime film "Across 110th Street." Because it is set in Harlem this very underrated crime drama is often lumped with "blaxploitation" pictures of the same era. In truth it belongs to the great pantheon of gritty violent police procedurals of the early 1970s-something of a New York City companion to Don Siegel's "Dirty Harry" released the year before. A few faint scratches to a couple of the cards and a faint dampstain to the bottom edge of a few others; a bright clean set overall. <br/><br/>Parish and Hill 3. United Artists unknown books

Tidyman Ernest screenwriter; Jeanne Rejaunier novel
THE BEAUTY TRAP
Los Angeles: Betnic Productions Inc 1972. Wraps. Very good. Revised Draft of this unproduced screenplay. Veteran producer Frank P. Rosenberg hired Ernest Tidyman 1928-84 to adapt Jeanne Rejaunier's best-selling novel which deals with the glamourous sometimes sleazy life of topflight New York fashion models. Tidyman began work on the project in 1970 immediately prior to writing the screenplays for Shaft 1971 based on his 1970 novel and French Connection 1971 which established him as one of the top screenwriters in the business. The production was ultimately abandoned. However this draft includes casting notes with potential candidates for each role listed in order of preference - for instance the actresses targeted for the role of Charlene include Eleanor Parker Bette Davis Joan Crawford Susan Hayward Ava Gardner Rita Hayworth Anne Baxter and Angela Lansbury - as well as brief bios of the preferred producer Gordon Oliver director Gordon Douglas and production manager Nate Barrager. Green titled vinyl wrappers noted as "Revised Draft" on the title page which is dated November 8 1972 and includes credits for Tidyman Rejaunier and Betnic Productions. 169 mimeographed pages with the last page numbered 154. The contents are crisp and clean. Some very light edgewear to the wrappers which are bound with two brads with the remnants of a paper label to the spine; otherwise very good.

PURSUIT TO ALGIERS Original Heavily Annotated Screenplay for the 1945 Universal Studios SHERLOCK HOLMES Film Adaptation
Los Angeles: Universal Studios 1945. Doyle A. Conan Leonard Lee screenwriter. PURSUIT TO ALGIERS here bearing the initial title "The Fugitive." Los Angeles: Universal Studios 1945. Dated July 26th 1945 Leonard Lee's complete brad-bound studio mimeographed draft script production number #7309 stamped on the cover consists of 113pp of typescript bearing numerous penciled revisions emendations and additions - along with another 20pp of massively hand-corrected typescript which clearly had contained so many penciled changes that the pages had to be retyped. These remarkably annotated pages have been appended to the rear of the screenplay creating a 133pp comprehensive look at the evolution of the script. Given the fragile nature of WW2-era scripts this example is in excellent original condition very good indeed the pages are a little soft with some very light edge-wear and tears. As fully marked up as any script in our nearly complete Universal Studio archive. PURSUIT TO ALGIERS set almost entirely on a passenger ship required elaborate sets and thus became the series's most expensive production; it premiered at the Rialto Theatre in New York on October 26th 1945. The twelve Sherlock Holmes films produced by Universal Pictures during the years 1942-1946 are legend; they are surely the best known screen-adapted adventures of English Literature's most iconic character and Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce are still cherished despite our current superb 21st century film and TV adaptations as the definitive Holmes and Watson. A treasure for the fan of the Universal Sherlock Series. Please see our other scripts from the same archive. Signed. Original Wraps. Very Good. Script. Universal Studios Paperback books

Los Angeles: Universal Studios 1946. Doyle A. Conan. DRESSED TO KILL here bearing the initial later discarded title "Prelude To Murder". Los Angeles: Universal Studios 1946. This unique film studio screenplay archive consists of THREE original screenplays. 1. A "First Revised Draft" dated January 3rd 1946 the screenwriter's original carbon copy typescript unannotated consisting of 94pp of onion-skin paper. Brad-bound in original drab brown Universal Studios covers which are a little brittle and chipped else Very Good bearing the stamped production number 7337. 2. Complete 78pp brad-bound shooting script consisting of a mix of original ribbon-copy typescript and studio-mimeographed white pages dated January 16th 1946 with production number 7337 stamped on the cover. This remarkable writer's draft contains extensive author-revised annotations emendations revisions and additions throughout. This is accomplished via a cut-and-paste the insertion of additional leaves and new dialogue and description scrawled on the versos an exceptional artifact which boldly captures the revision process of this last entry in the Sherlock Holmes' Universal Studios film series. The front cover has been neatly reinforced with tape and bears the original penciled filing notation indicating that this particular script is the copy from which the final draft was produced. 3. Dated April 25th 1946 the complete original studio-mimeographed self-wrapper final post-production dialogue continuity script bound with two brads at the top. In Very Good condition. The title DRESSED TO KILL refers to the film's wily femme fatale Hilda Courtney played by Patricia Morison an homage to Irene Adler from "A Scandal In Bohemia" complete with a familiar misdirection trick which Hilda uses to fool Watson into revealing a hidden location. The plot is an amalgam of several Holmes stories but also draws from other plots in the Universal Sherlock film canon: a convicted thief in Dartmoor Prison hides stolen Bank of England printing plates inside three music boxes -- leading to the murder or attempted murder of their owners using the central device of a secret code which of course only Holmes can brilliantly break. Starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce in their final film together DRESSED TO KILL opened on June 7th 1946 to excellent reviews but also to rumors that it was to be the last of the Universal Sherlock films; by October of that year Producer Roy William Neill truly the visionary of the film series died and that signaled the end of one of the most successful franchises in Universal Studios history.

This stunning image shows Lorre as the murderer confronted by the blind balloon seller who recognizes his distinctive whistle thus setting Lorre's capture in motion. Exceedingly rare photo recently found in an old untouched US archive having originated as an oversized German negative which was re-purposed for use in Denmark as evidenced by the Danish Film Censor's mark "statens" at the bottom which is baked into the negative and then presumably arrived here as a collector's rarity . Glossy single-weight roughly 8" x 10" gelatin silver print. It shows overall wear from handling and it has many faint creases plus stains on reversewhich do not bleed through to the front yet retains eye appeal. "M" remains one of the most famous films of world cinema. It provided the initial blueprint for the entire genre now labeled psychological thriller. "M" original posters sell from $15000 to $50000. Here's a chance to own a piece of the same cinema history at a small fraction of the cost. . First Thus. Very Good. Photograph. Nero-Film A. G. books
